My green BTA recently suffered a powerhead-related injury. The injury wasn't that bad, but as a result, it started splitting. It was looking fine the last couple days, but it looks like it's decaying. What do I do?!

Do you have a separate tank you could put it in? BTAs are notorious for surviving pretty bad conditions/treatments... though it does look pretty rough. I was always told as long as it isn't detached and floating around the tank (looking in the same general shape or worse than yours), then there's still a chance.

I have a 40g tank that I'd be using as a QT, although it isn't set up. My tank has a sump. Should I put it in there? There's a separate chamber in it for macroalgae and stuff (although I have yet to get some)
